Dr. Randal M. Cox

• Therapeutic Optometrist
• Glaucoma Specialist

Dr. Cox founded what is now known as Family Eye Care Clinic in Atlanta, Texas, in 1980.  Over the decades, he has become widely known throughout the medical community and among his patients for both his clinical expertise and his warm, gentle approach to patient care.

Dr. Cox earned his Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Houston. He then continued his education at the University of Houston College of Optometry, where he graduated with honors and was elected to the prestigious Beta Sigma Kappa Honor fraternity.

Throughout his career, Dr. Cox has remained active in numberous professional organizations.  He is a member of the American Optometric Associate, the Texas Optometric Association, the East Texas Optometric Society, the American Optometric Foundation and the International Contact Lens Society.

Dr. Cox is also deeply involved in the Atlanta community.  He has served as both a member and past president of the Atlanta Lions Club, a past director of Atlanta Area Chamber of Commerce, and a volunteer with the United Way. He was also active with the Atlanta Baseball Association for many years and coached youth baseball for 14 years, investing in the lives of young people in the community.

While Dr. Cox provides care for patients of all ages, his practice has become particularly focused on geriatric patients, especially those aged 55 and over.  This focus has given him extensive experience in diagnosing and managing many age-related eye conditions, including Glaucoma, Macular Degeneration, Diabetic Retinopathy, and Dry Eye Disease.

Outside the office, Dr. Cox enjoys hunting, fishing, reading, playing golf, and chasing after his 3 grandchildren.  He remains active in his church and in the Atlanta community.  Dr. Cox often says that Atlanta, Texas is the best place in the world to live--which is why he is proud to call it home with his wife, Rita.
